Eastman dropped his lawsuit against the committee for access to his call logs.

I don't know why Eastman did this. Eastman is a lawyer who is batshit crazy and corrupt. He must know he is in deep shit. Will he turn?

1. Rats ... sinking ship?

Get ahead of the fallout.

2. I think

it's another distraction. There isn't an honest bone in his body.

3. The legal case against Eastman:

"LAW AND ORDER, Opinion | John Eastman’s Criminal Exposure Is Real"

"Not surprisingly, there is now reporting that explicitly reflects what has been obvious for months: that Trump has purposely kept his distance from Eastman in public recently and that Trump and his allies see the lawyer as a possible 'fall guy.' That defense would have us believe that Trump may just be the most unlucky rich guy in the world, constantly finding himself surrounded by corrupt advisers and terrible lawyers whose misconduct somehow always neatly aligns with Trump’s preconceived political and financial interests."

"By the same token, some members of the legal commentariat have already taken to speculating that Eastman might cooperate against Trump and finally bring him down. Here too, a sense of déjà vu is unavoidable. After all, the list of disreputable Trump insiders who people once hoped would successfully turn on him — people like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Allen Weisselberg, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Tom Barrack and even Michael Cohen, who was not a useful cooperator — is long."

"Maybe this time will be different, but don’t hold your breath."

4. Well... It was a delay tactic from the start...

It was never going to win so... The real question is why does he no longer want that delay? We don't know yet but I expect we will find out soon.
